BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Georgia women's golf team carded a second-straight 11-over 299 at the SEC Championships at Greystone Golf and Country Club on Thursday. The Bulldogs enter Friday's final round of stroke play qualifying in 13th place, but just five shots off the cut for the eight-team match play bracket.
"We're not in the ideal position after two days, but they don't crown champions on Thursday," head coach Josh Brewer said. "We've got some work we've got to take care of tomorrow, but we're good enough. We've got the firepower to do it. We've just got to dig down a little deeper and get ready for a great challenge."
The Bulldogs started quickly on Thursday, with five birdies leading to a 3-under team tally through six holes. At that point, Georgia had ascended to sixth on the team leaderboard with LoraLie Cowart at 2-under, Caterina Don at 1-under and Jenny Bae and Jo Hua Hung both at even on the day.
"We showed we can make birdies and move up the leaderboard," Brewer said. "We've got to use that for tomorrow."
Georgia lost four strokes before the turn and three more at No. 10. The Bulldogs eventually played the back side at 10-over.
All five Georgia golfers shot between 74-76 in the second round. Bae led the Bulldogs with a 2-over 74, followed by a trio of 75s from Cowart, Don and Hung. Candice Mahé carded a 76.
"Regression toward the mean has to take over at some point," Brewer said. "We're due. We've hit a lot of good shots. It just takes that one little spark. Who's it going to be? We have five great players just one of them has to get us jump-started, and we know we can take off and post a low number."
On the team leaderboard, No. 20 Auburn leads No. 3 South Carolina by three strokes. The Tigers and Gamecocks are at 576 and 579, respectively. No. 14 LSU is third at 580 followed by a pack of 10 teams within 10 strokes of each other including No. 10 Florida at 588, No. 23 Ole Miss at 590, Vanderbilt at 591, No. 9 Alabama at 592, Mississippi State at 593, No. 22 Kentucky at 594, No. 19 Arkansas and Tennessee at 595, No. 11 Texas A&M at 597 and the Bulldogs at 598.
Auburn's Megan Schofill leads the individual field at 7-under 137, one shot better than Tennessee's Mikayla Bardwell. For Georgia, Hung is tied for 16th at 147, Don is tied for 30th at 149, Bae is tied for 36th at 150, Cowart is tied for 48th at 152 and Mahé is tied for 60th at 156.
Georgia will be paired Texas A&M and Missouri on Friday, teeing off from No. 10 beginning at 10:10 a.m. ET. Live scoring is available via golfstat.com.
